The material , which the featherboard is constructed of , should be straight piece of wood that is free of knots and cracks . Featherboards are used to keep the work in contact with the fence and table and help prevent kickbacks . Clamp the featherboard to the fence and table so that the leading edge of the feather - board will support the workpiece until the cut is com - pleted . Use featherboards for all non - through cutting opera - tions where the guard and splitter assembly must be removed . Always replace the guard and splitter assembly when the non - through cutting operations are finished . See figure 2B . Page: 10

CONSTRUCTING A PUSHSTICK When ripping work less than 4 inches wide , a pushstick should be used to complete the feed and could easily be made from scrap material by following the pattern shown in figure 2C . Fig . 2C The Pushstick should be made of 3 / 4 or 1 / 2 inch wood or a thickness less than the width of the workpiece to be cut .

Never use the fence as a cut - off gauge when crosscutting . Figure 23 = 2 When cross - cutting a number of pieces to the same length , a block of wood can be clamped to the fence and used as a cut - off gauge as shown . It is important that this block of wood always be positioned in front of the saw blade as shown . Once the cut - off length is determined , secure the fence and use the miter gauge to feed the work into the blade . This block of wood allows the cut - off piece to move freely along the table surface without binding between the fence and the saw table , thereby lessening the possibility of kickback and injury to the operator . See figure 23 - 3 . Note : This block allows the cut - off scrap piece to move freely along the table surface without binding between the fence and the blade , thereby lessening the possibil - ity of kickback and injury to the operator .

Advance the workpiece slowly , holding it down and against the fence , then into the saw blade . Note : The workpiece can be fed through the saw blade with one or two hands depending on the size . 4 . Affter the workpiece is beyond the saw blade and anti - kickback fingers , you can remove your hand from the workpiece . When this is done , the work - piece will either stay on the table , tilt up slightly and be caught by the rear end of the guard , or slide off the table to the floor . Alternately , the feed can con - tinue to the end of the table , after which the work - piece is lifted and brought back along the outside edge of the fence . 5 . The cut - off part of the workpiece remains on the table and is not touched until the saw blade has come to a complete stop . A 34 Page: 35
